Est-CE Ainsi Que Les Femmes Meurent, Paperback Book, By: Didier Decoin

Catherine Kitty Genovese should not have gone out alone that evening in March 1964 from the bar where she worked, one very cold night, in Queens, New York. Her death was reported in an article in the following day's newspaper: “A local resident dies stabbed in front of her house. We stop shortly after the murderer, cold monster and father. Nothing more. An anonymous ending for this funny and pretty young woman. But do we know that Kitty Genovese's martyrdom lasted more than half an hour, and especially that thirty-eight witnesses, warm behind their windows, saw or heard the killing? None intervened. Who is most to blame? The criminal or the indifferent? A gripping story of realism and reflection on human cowardice, Didier Decoin's novel reads with a thrill.
